Caroline Kennedy has told Gov. Paterson that she is withdrawing her name from consideration to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate, The Post has learned.

“She’s never had to work for a damn thing in her entire spoiled privileged life”
Yeah, they probably told her she would have to show up and that she would actually have work hours.
“Order came directly from POTUS MUZZIE HUSSEIN”
You might be on to something. The Cuomos are the Clintons’ enemies.
She tried the seat out and realized it was way too wide for her.
I know I am not supposed to but,
“handing a senate seat to a ditsy bimbo”
What about Barbara Boxer? :^)
This likely means Governor Paterson told her he wasn’t going to select her. She’s “withdrawing” in order to save face. Cheers to Governor Paterson for not letting the Liberal Media and Michael Bloomberg, King of New York City, boss him around.
Damn. Cuomo will be harder to unseat.
finally this circus is over. Ok who is the next celebrity dimwit to be ordained as NY senator? Clooney? Pitt? Sarandon? Oprah??
Tinfoil hat alert: I wouldn't be surprised if Teddy took a health dive yesterday knowing Caroline was not getting the appointment (or they figured MA would be a better fit). So Caroline was given the perfect out and rationale for moving to MA to help take care of Kennedy, establish her residency, and then Teddy will retire and she will get appointed.
As to whether she was actually going to be turned down and got a heads up to save face seems pretty clear. Maybe the fact that media reports stated that Patterson would give Caroline the appointment in exchange for the Kennedy machine supporting Patterson in his 2010 run for Governor may have played a role because it sounded like a quid pro quo, probably legal, but still looking like impropriety on its face.
I’m betting that it’s former Governor Mario Cuomo.
Yea, but doesn't she live in NY? Oh wait... carpet bagging worked for Hillary.
I 'spose a verse of "Kumbaya" is out of the question?
We are all lost souls without her representation after all aren't we. /s
Well, the Dems want to always have a Kennedy in office somewhere (to pull your heart-strings over John and Robert). Then yesterday, Teddy had convulsions and things looked grim. But when they heard that Ted recovered, they have said to themselves "No need for Caroline, 'cause that ***'ll never die."
Why would Paterson announce on this coming Saturday, a slow news day?
NY Congressman Kirsten Gillibrand is like Hillary’s mini-me.

Methinks you’re correct.
That's what walking sticks are for...
*snicker* revealing her finances brought her royal chickens home to roost.
Well actually, you know, I didn’t, you know, want it.
